No, by all means, please feel free to participate. I thoroughly enjoyed being called a KKK member before you edited your post, with absolutely no basis whatsoever to your accusations. Sort of like every other minority playing the race card when they can't have an intelligent debate.

Is "tread" spanglish for "thread"? -

rolled...

If you are offended by this costume, the you or people you know like your parents are probably illegal, which means you shouldn't be here. But who am I to say right, I'm just a racist white guy.

What? You're pulling the bait n' switch now?

You claimed I was a racist, and I'm encouraging you to participate in good old fashioned dialogue.
You made a claim, which is fine, you are entitled, and now as soon as I call you on it, you immediately edit your post and remove what you wrote.

That's shameful really.

Grow a pair of nuts, stand behind what you originally wrote and discuss it like a man.

I was being sincere when I asked you why that costume was upsetting you because perhaps there is a perspective I was missing, and I wanted you to point it out to me.

There was a television show quite a long time ago called SCTV, sort of Canada's version of SNL (only better) hey, I'm biased!

Anyway, this one skit they did "Meet the Schmengies" portrayed a Ukrainian family always sitting around the kitchen table eating cabbage rolls and coffee.
They poked fun of the Ukraine and Polish stereotypes.

So does that mean if you happen to be polish, this type of skit should offend you?

I don't know what your problem is man, but I do think your boxers are 2 sizes too small and you need to loosen up.

Calling me a racist is like calling President Obama a staunch conservative.

Biased, maybe. Correct - absolutely (IMHO).

I wouldn't expect too much of a response from our Latino friend on this one. But certainly encourage him to have the guts to stand behind his posts.

Discussion and dialogue are things that people that play the race card don't want. All they want to do is brig an issue and play the race card in a situation where it doesn't apply and expect it to be done their way. The fact is just that no matter who may be offended by it there is no discrimination based on who is offended. Otherise we should complain about the pregnant nun costume pimp costume etc. This is America and freedom will win. If an illegal immigrant wants to come to this country and then complain that they don't have rights or this offends then or thier family or friends then they shouldn't have come to america. I don't care if someone immigrates here or is illegal forthat matter as long as they work and go about their business like everyone.

There were a few giants who came out of Second City:
Eugene Levy : I just look at the guy and laugh, he doesn't even have to say anything.

John Candy - When he used to do his "Exercising with Johnny La Rue" Skits, those were the best. He would get up from the lazy boy, walk over to the fridge in his track suit, and open and close the door 10 times, lol Grab a sandwhich and go sit down again.

Joe Flaherty as Count Floyd / Guy Cabalerro & Floyd Robertson, those charactors were the best.

Andrea Martin as Edith Prickly, haha

Catherine O-Hara who could impersonate everyone from Tammy Fay Bakker to Lucille Ball

They just don't make stuff like that anymore.

I don't care whether you are native, legal, or illegal - political correctness is NOT a Constitutionally granted right!

If you are here illegally and sucking up my tax dollars I do not care if you are offended.
Go home. If you want to make America your home do it legally and learn English please.
